Finally a DIT Workshop taught by a experienced working DIT! 1The job of the DIT (aka PrePost on set) is constantly evolving, and to that evolvement, this workshop was created.  This 2 day class will concentrate on the production of dailies, and all the tools, software and skill to get you working efficiently and quickly.   Starting with the backing up of camera files all the way through to handing off of your shuttle drive with finished dailies to the post house.   This is a relaxed class that will remove the mystery, help simplify and have you become confident in the DIT position.   You will be exposed to cool gear and software to allow you to be an artist on-set.  Plus a few vendors with products on display will be in attendance.  Class is limit to 16 students, continental breakfast will be served in the morning, we break for lunch (there are several restaurants within walking distance of the studio to choose from, including Pink's and Chipotle), and then we finish out each day.
 
This class is designed for those looking to move up from Assistant Camera, Loader, Utility and Assistant Editor positions, or even DIT's, Editors, DP's and Producers that want to gain further knowledge of On-Set (PrePost) Dailies workflow.  No prior experience necessary, but having computer skills is a must.  Students are encouraged to bring their laptops.  Power point presentation on thumb drives will be given to each student, which will also include a copy of REDCINE X PRO, and Davinci Resolve Lite.  You should download these 2 free softwares, and get a little familiar before the class.
